...11th century, we see the development of a new vaulting type. This vault is called the barrel vault and is perched by a mount, making it an irregular shape. This type of vaulting can be found in the church of St. Martin in Pyrenees. Barrel vaults are typically very narrow because of how the arches are formed at the roof. St. Martin’s church vault is made of stone and contains transverse arches, which go across the roof of the vault, and piers, that run vertical up the arches, to help maintain its structure since it’s very heavy. This vaulting type doesn’t allow in much light, making it hard to see at times. A different type of vaulting we begin to see is the intersecting barrel vault, also known as rolling vaults. An example of a place with this type of vaulting would be in the St. Philibert of Cornell. This vault type allows you to have more windows and is constructed more easily since it can be done in segments. It is also more spacious, compared to the barrel vault, which ends up getting its name “the growing vault.” However, there is a downside to this construction. Because it needs a lot of scaffolding, it is often off center. Even with this setback, the development of this type of vaulting moves forward in to the future. Moving forward, we begin to see changes to the growing vaults. These changes lead to our ribbed growing vaults. An example of a place with these are the Durham Cathedral. Ribbed growing vaults have a skeleton with criss crossing, transverse arches. With this...

...2012 Pole Vault Risks of Going High Most people look at pole-vaulting as a crazy and extreme event in track and field. The men and women that do this event can be quite crazy. They are people who aren’t scared to take the risk of going as high as twenty feet in the air. Pole vaults are almost a different breed of athlete. They have a mindset that they are going to run as fast and jump as high as they can and not care what happens after. There are many ways that a pole-vaulter can get hurt from head injures to pulled muscles. Fortunately, nearly everyone that pole vaults remains safe and uninjured, but there are a few cases a year where people get hurt or in extreme cases killed. This isn’t due to the fact that the event isn’t safe but just that with every other sport, there is a chance something can go wrong and you can get injured. But that is the fact that athletes in every sport have to deal with and have accepted. Pole-vaulting is a very technical and hard event to learn. The athlete has to be fast strong and have great stamina because of the amount of jumps taken and how taxing each jump is on the body. The main object of vaulting is to get over the cross bar and move to the next height. Most of this has to do with the amount of force you apply to the pole at impact. This is called momentum. “Momentum is a quantity used to measure the motion of the body” (Weir par 13). This is essential to having a successful jump and to clearing the height. Pole vault is an international...

...While reading the article about Appex Corporation, I was able to relate to similar issues that they faced. Life is all about finding a system that works for you. However, just because a system works for one person or organization does not mean that it will work for everyone. Shikhar Ghosh, the CEO of Appex, went through trial and error with different strategies and structures before finding one that works well for Appex. Over the past three years, I feel like the University of Illinois Track and Field team has adjusted to different structures as well. During my freshmen year here as a pole vaulter, the coaching staff was a bit chaotic. There seemed to be no structure of any sort. First off, the track team is already divided into a few groups, such as the sprinters, throwers, distance runners, and jumpers. Within my group, the jumpers, we had about eight of us. We would show up to practice everyday at 3:30pm and not know what our workout was or which coach we were working with, whether is was our head coach, conditioning coach, or pole vaulting coach. We didn’t know who to go to with issues or who was in charge of us. Some days we practiced with one coach and the next day it was a different coach. None of their workouts were in sync and things just seemed a bit out of control. However, after a few of us talked to the head coach, who was ultimately in charge, at the end of the year and we all agreed that some things needed to be changed. At the start of my sophomore year, I...

Further, in terms of recommendation no. 3.68 of the Committee on Customer Service in Banks (Goiporia Committee), banks were advised to rejuvenate the branch level customer service committees.
